You'll find that purchasing big-ticket products, like a Saatva mattress or a washer/dryer from Lowe's, is worth it during February 19 because prices will be the lowest its been since Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

We rounded up a bunch here, but you can also continue reading for our editor-curated picks.

Mini Motia Sit-to-Stand Desk

"I want a standing desk when I upgrade my WFH setup later this year and I hate all the corporate-y ones I see on the market. One of my favorite online furniture stores is Design Within Reach and though I love popping into its SoHo location to browse for items, its online inventory is much better. They have everything, including this mini standing desk with customizable base colors. This small detail makes the desk feel like a better fit for the home, and I like that it doesn't take up too much space. Since standing desks are expensive, the discounted $828 on this piece feels like a steal! I just need to decide on a color to buy, and I'm leaning toward this mossy green."

Waffle Knit Duvet Cover Set

"Ever since I upgraded to Saatva's Rx mattress, I've been eager to level up my bedding as well. I currently have a more affordable waffle weave duvet from Target (also now on sale for Presidents' Day!) but due to the height of my new mattress, it's not quite as oversized as I like. My favorite part of this duvet cover set is the hidden zipper closure, which seems so much more convenient than the buttons on my duvet now. Plus, Saatva is currently offering House Beautiful readers 20 percent off purchases of $1,000 or more, now through now through February 23, when shopping through one of our links, so this is also a great time to buy yourself a new mattress!"

Atelier Topiary Ivory Non-Slip Rug

"I love this sweet topiary pattern and think it would look so cute in our mudroom. I'm going to get the larger size so it covers more floor than a standard doormat. Even though we're supposed to have an early spring, I'm sure we'll have some more snow and it's great to have extra coverage for wet, muddy shoes. The greenery and flowers makes it feel like an early sign of spring!"

—Elyse Moody, Contributing Senior Editor

Premium Plush Bath Towels

"I have wanted these Cozy Earth bath towels for such a long time, and I'm running out of reasons not to buy them. Now that they're finally on sale, I'm so tempted. My current bath towels are seven years old, so I am ready to part with them. They're a bit thinner than I'd want, which is what led me to Cozy Earth's. They're so plush-looking, come in more interesting colors than just white, and, at 30 by 53 inches, so they're pretty big. They are officially in my cart."

—Jessica Cherner, Associate Shopping Editor

V11 Extra Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

"For the past year I've been using a rinky dink bagless Bissell vacuum and it doesn't hold a flame (or debris, for that matter) to the Dyson. The Dyson VII Cordless Vacuum is so smooth across every floor surface, and I love how lightweight it is—I feel like I'm gliding in and out of every room. Whenever I visit a friend who has a a Dyson, I volunteer to vacuum their space just to experience the rush again! I've finally decided that I deserve to have this every day, in my own home."

Burr Coffee Grinder #KCG0702

"Everyone knows that coffee is made better when the beans are freshly ground. I’ve been struggling to find a coffee grinder that is as precise as I’d like, until now. I’ve been trying to elevate my at-home coffee setup, and KitchenAid’s Burr Coffee Grinder is the perfect addition. You can customize the grind size for your intended coffee brewing method, and you can even tell the device how many cups you plan on brewing to ensure no beans (or grinds) are wasted."

—Kate McGregor, SEO Editor

Organic Ribbed Robe

"My friend Thomas turned me on to Brooklinen's bathrobes, and now they're my go-to birthday-slash-housewarming-slash-brother's-new-girlfriend gift. I've been mostly gifting their Super-Plush Robe, but eying this more cropped option for my 5'2 self."

—Claire Brito, Senior Social Editor

Mccollom Teak Reversible Shower Mat

"I despise sharing a bathroom with someone—not because of the lack of space or having to wait to shower, but because if I need to shower after that other person, stepping onto a wet bathmat truly disgusts me. I hate the already-damp fabric under my feet, so a wooden bath mat is something I've been needing to buy for a while now. Not only will one save me from that awful, moist sensation as I step out of the shower, but it simply looks cleaner and more chic than a fabric bath mat."

—Meghan Shouse, Assistant Editor

High Fidelity Belt Drive Turntable

"I recently brought home the last of my vinyl records from my parents’ house, but they need a new player. I’ve been obsessed with the high-quality audio from this sleek one at my friend’s apartment, and I’ve been waiting to make the investment. Now that it's on sale, I’m so ready to have my own for listening parties with at home. Its audio is just as warm, whether you connect your phone via Bluetooth or you put a 12-inch record on the turntable, and it has built-in speakers so it takes up less space on a media console."

—Janae McKenzie, Associate Shopping Editor

Bennett Nightstand

"I live in a largely unrenovated Victorian and for all of its charms, the closets are basically nonfunctional. I recently invested in this streamlined, Danish-inspired dresser from Raymour & Flanigan for our bedroom, and plan to scoop up the matching nightstands now that the whole site is 30 percent off!"

—Olivia Hosken, Deputy Managing Editor

Wingdings Dog Bed

"I'm the shopper who searches for 'stylish dog bowls' and 'stylish dog leashes,' on Google, so when it comes to my pup's bedding, I feel the same way. It has to look chic! I've had my eye on Dusen Dusen's products for a while now and love the Brooklyn brand's take on pet accessories. What has held me back from buying the dog bed was the price—at almost $250 (plus tax and shipping), it seemed a bit too excessive to spend on my dog, knowing how dirty, and thus less pristine, it would eventually get. Thankfully, my stalking of this item has prevailed because it's now on sale for $138, which is much more within my budget."
